I have read some comments on here were people SWEAR that by being jerks, they actually get better satisfaction, and while in some instances that is true, you also probably ruined someone else's day, and maybe even got them in trouble.

Whenever I am FUMING about something, the FIRST thing I do to a CS rep is apologize…

yeah the fact you can take an old boot and make something tasty is the strength of a crockpot.

yeah I get flack for asking for tesselated cheese, even though it is actually supposed to be that way due to internet upheaval over the old lazy way.

Good thing CHROMOTING is coming soon (hopefully).

Normally I would agree with you, but LMI sold ignition (mobile app) for $30, many people bought it because it worked with the free account, then they made the ignition app free, and are now killing the free service in it's entirety.

So some "free users" did but money in the hands of LMI and can rightfully be a bit…

This is just proof of John Gabriel's Greater internet fuckwad theory

That doesn't sound correct.

Typically, they call a k9 and if the dog "triggers" then they have probable cause to search, and they will look for ANYTHING to avoid recognizing they are hassling a citizen and not some criminal.

The problem is, K9's doing ANYTHING can be sold to a judge as a "trigger" thus providing legal…

well as far as felon-on-felon crime, dealing with the failed "war on drugs" in this country will certainly help there. Increased punishment for "weapons under disability" would help too, just BEING a felon with a gun should be much more than a slap on the wrist it currently is, locked up criminals don't shoot each…

Yes I would prefer bloomberg do nothing.

His ideas won't help, and we know his methods won't work.
We have had high-cap bans, we have had assault bans, we have had waiting periods, we've had registration, we've had scores of legislation that have only eroded the rights of those who follow the laws.

I am not saying that…

less than $8 a month? Hell just adding one premium channel is usually in the $12 range, what sort of crazy boiler room negotiations did you have with your cable co?

I wish it didn't require $25 worth of prime goods, but only ONE eligible prime item to be included.

That way a $2 add on and a $10 prime item can ship together (which is amazon's concern) but I don't have to save up for a bigger purchase.

The whole point of prime is I can get what I want in 2 days without having to meet…

No the HR rep is being pragmatic.
Technically, the bad worker COULD be fired, but being she was a protected class, the HR rep assumed that a lawsuit, or bad PR, or something else would likely come about if the bad worker was fired.

HR feared being "perceived" as abusing a protected class with an "unjust" firing.

I would…

and this is why race is a complicated topic,
You just said "discussing realities of nonwhite life does not equate to racism" those realities in question are gang violence, crime etc.

But if someone were to say "crime and gang violence are daily realities in non-white communities" they would be labeled a bigot (if they…

email is great for it's intended purpose (asynchronous communication), the problem I always run into, is I need my email to also be a task/project management tool.

I really wish that google would buy a big project/task management software, and integrate tasks in a significant way with GCal. Then so long as you have a…

Yeah, that is the same reason I had to stop listening to Dave Ramsay, he would often have people call in "broke" and he would say "well don't go to bahamas every month and you will save a ton" or "you don't need to trade in your car yearly" or "cut your own grass, and don't go to fine dining every night"

It was…

reminds me of this kickstarter for Adtrap

if they only kept the little area with "recently closed" and "other computers" I would love it.

Sure, the menu has a new flyout location for these, but having them right on the new tab page was excellent

I got a zyxel nsa325 for 110 shipped a few weeks back on a daily deal. It works, but doesn't have a lot of 1click install packages.

Had to use ssh and all kinds of linux-fu to get sab/sickbeard/couchpotato setup.

It also had a quirk with 3TB drives, as in, it didn't recognize them as a single 3tb ntfs partition, had to…
